On August 21st JHRTS-NY gathered around the conference table in WME’s Screening Room for an intimate conversation with Original Productions’ CEO / Executive Producer and HRTS Board Member, Philip Segal. Moderated by History’s SVP of Programming & Development, Elaine Frontain Bryant, members had a firsthand experience hearing Philip’s remarkable story navigating the industry. Philip offered-up invaluable advice; by giving candid answers about bringing some of the most revered shows on television to life. Members heard whole-hearted stories about some of the biggest pitch meetings to take place in the industry. From green-lighting the cult classic, Twin Peaks and personally bringing Dr. Who to the States, JHRTS-NY got to step in the shoes of one of Hollywood’s top executives.
JHRTS-NY would like to personally thank Philip, Elaine and WME for a priceless evening.
